Does this come with what is needed to have the dishwasher drain run into it and a power cord? We are installing this new and need to make sure that our dishwasher can still drain through the sink drain.

Your dishwasher has an outflow hose that will connect to a plastic tube protruding near the top of this InSinkerator. You have to use a screwdriver to break out a little plastic partition to let water flow into the grinder compartment before you connect the hose. I don't think mine had a power cord. I was replacing an older unit so I just connected it to the old wires. You will probably want to wire this directly into a house circuit, but could buy a plug and some wire from a hardware store if your unit will be within reach of an outlet under your sink. With "Cover Control" you don't need to wire in a switch. You connect the tailpiece of the InSinkErator to your drain through a U-shaped trap. If you didn't have a similar unit before, but just a sink drain, you may have to rebuild the drain pipes a little to put the trap in line with the InSinkErator output tailpiece. That isn't difficult to do.

Yes, it includes drain assembly. The included drain assembly is the typical drain assembly with a drain plug that raises to open and lowers to close using a small wire handle that comes out of the back of the faucet. I replaced it with a popup drain assembly that is closed by pushing down on the drain cap (in the sink) and which pops up to open when pushed a second time. Both look the same after installation, but the popup is easier to install because you don't have to worry about leaks where the handle enters the drain tailpipe.

There is a hole on the back of the unit, close to the bottom. Push one end of the power cord into it, and the other end with the plug, goes into the outlet.

No it doesn't need a kit. It comes with everything you should need. I had to move my electrical supply from the back wall where the dishwasher slides in to the left hand side outside the dishwasher space. I placed mine was under the kitchen sink, will work on either side. If you didn't already have a dishwasher you may need the Y piece to attach the dishwasher drain to the exhisting sink drain.

Hi Nicole. It is a standard 2 or 3 prong plug in. Look to see if your outlet by the disposal is 2 or 3 prong. Three prong is preferred. It does have to be wired into the unit. A plug knocks out and you connect the wires onto the Whirlaway. It should explain in the directions. A hammer and a screwdriver will knock out the plug.

Nevermind, just asked wife and she said it did not come with one. We too connected it to our garbage disposal so we don't really worry about stuff going down the drain.

The unit I ordered and received specifically did not have a power cord. I purchased grounded 12-gauge cable from a local store, cut to length, and wired it. It was fairly simple. Just remember to use a proper gauge of cord that is appropriate to the length needed--to limit resistance and possible overheating/fire. The only other wiring needed was the connection of the thermostat cable that came with my unit.

Nothing was needed with regards to the plumbing aspects but we had to install an electrical outlet with a GFCI socket. If the current hose connecting the toilet tank to water supply is very old you may need a new hose as the plumbing washers could leak on the new installation as a result of age deterioration

Power cord was attached that plugs into normal 110 volt outlet. My previous was hard wired into the disposal thus I simply added a 110 volt electrical outlet box with the normal wall outlet inside. The disposal then plugs into the new outlet. This is just like adding a power cord female outlet end onto the electrical power coming from the wall that was GFI grounded.

No this did not include the power cord. That had to be purchased separately.

Yes, it does require an outlet. In fact, our power cord is missing - we assume the housecleaner put it away somewhere (she doesn't work for us anymore, unsurprisingly). I'm going to have to call the manufacturer to get a replacement.

I bought this unit on Amazon around the beginning of August this year - couldn't seem to get it without the filtration system unit (which I did't have room for) - it had an attached power cord, as they all do to my knowledge.InSinkErator HWT-F1000S Hot Water Tank and Filtration System

It comes with they typical cord and 3-pronged plug. I am not at the house where I installed it to see if direct wiring via Romex and a cable clamp is practical, but why not just terminate your present wiring to a "handy box" under your sink that has a duplex outlet installed in it, and just plug this (or any other) garbage disposal into the outlet? Most disposals are equipped w/ a normal appliance cord, and this one is so reasonably priced, you could easily afford the $4 for the box, outlet, and box cover with the savings.

I just plugged it into the 120 VAC outlet in my wall. It comes with a cord already attached, so no messing around with wires & wirenuts, which is nice. Of course, I had to install that outlet & outlet box because the disposal I replaced was powered by a piece of romex that came directly out of the wall through the hole cut for the sink drain pipe. Talk about builders taking short cuts!

Yes, everything is included. The part that connects to the sink and the tube that connects to the dishwasher drain.

no it does not. Just comes with a three wires (Hot/neutral/ ground) Just bought a regular plug in end , for a couple dollars and plugged in to extension cord. I use mine at a cabin. We just need it for showers and sinks, no dishwashers or washing machines. Works awesome and 1/4 the size of a normal cabin pump

It comes with a drain. I had bought one separately because that detail was left out.
